Done, glutes, hip flexors, adductors

I wasn't feeling 100% after whatever bug I had but I needed to move and wanted to do this workout.  I rested pretty much since Friday night and was sick of resting.  Once I got moving I felt good, warmed up for about 30 mins nice and easy.  My glutes and adductors have been super sore since Friday.  Which I think is odd...Friday's workout didn't seem that bad.  My adductors are always what I feel as tight when I start climbing on the mountain bike now too...and I can actually see them in my legs now for the first time.  I was super excited to hit 160 with no misses on the split jerk since I haven't done that movement in forever.  I was doing it without blocks and 160 was the first rep that was a little messy so I stopped there.  165 is my PR...I think.  Bench felt great.  Probably would have pushed to 115 if I had a spotter (my workout buddy is out of town). WOD went pretty well considering I haven't done TTB or DU's in forever.  I focused on form and breathing rather than speed.  TTB did not hurt my shoulder at all like it used to.  However,  I did fatigue at stringing them together.  I started with sets of 5 and by then end, just 2 at a time.  My right lat gives out first.  DU's went overall great!  No back pain AND- I was able to breathe!   I still had trouble feeling like I was gonna pee after about 15 reps but breathing and relaxing helped.  After mobilizing my sore legs/butt, I worked on kicking into a handstand and had some successs!  One time I held it for a good 5 seconds on so just from kicking up in space.  So satisfying.  Thanks!
